And if anyone cares, you can't create floppy images from the really old softpaqs on modern PCs. I ended up having to shuttle an IDE disk to the Portable 486 and run the image copy program on there
Yes, I found that too for the early Deskpro stuff. It might be possible to extract real data from the softpaqs without too much trouble, but for the number of times I was expecting to do it, it didn't seem worth the time and I just shunted things across to an old 486 machine and wrote images there.
